Involvement In Religious Activities Research Articles

Harmoni Sosial dalam Perspektif Islam: Tinjauan Terhadap Masyarakat Kontemporer

This study aims to explore the dynamics of social harmony in the perspective of Islam in contemporary society, considering the influence of global contexts and technological developments. A deep understanding of the religious values of Islam, active involvement in religious activities, and contributions to social activities are the focus of the study. The research method uses a qualitative approach by collecting data through religious literature studies, analyzing government regulations related to social harmony, and direct observation of the social dynamics of contemporary society. The data is then analyzed qualitatively to identify patterns in maintaining social harmony. The results show that understanding religious teachings is the main foundation for maintaining harmony, while active involvement in religious activities and contributions to social activities play a crucial role in forming harmonious social relationships. Challenges related to differences in religious understanding and the impact of global contexts and technological developments highlight the complexity of maintaining social harmony. As a recommendation, this study emphasizes the need for inclusive religious education, promotion of active involvement in religious activities, and strengthening social activities as key steps. Strategies to adapt to global and technological changes are also identified as important steps to overcome these challenges. The conclusion of this study is expected to provide guidance for stakeholders in dealing with the complex dynamics of maintaining social harmony in the perspective of Islam in contemporary society that is constantly changing.

Religiosity and its Relationship with the Tolerance Attitudes of Higher Education Students

This study aims to examine the relationship between religiosity and tolerance among university students. This research focuses on how university students’ level of religiosity relates to their attitudes towards differences in religion, culture, and views in the academic environment. The research method was a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. This study involved 160 students from various programs at several universities. Data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of a religiosity measurement scale and tolerance attitude measurement scale. The religiosity measurement scale includes the dimensions of belief, involvement in religious activities, and importance of religion in daily life. The tolerance attitude measurement scale assessed students' responses to statements describing openness, appreciation, and respect for differences. The results of the analysis show a positive correlation between the level of religiosity of university students and their tolerance attitudes. Students who showed higher levels of religiosity tended to have more tolerant attitudes. These findings suggest that religion can act as an important factor in shaping students' social attitudes in the academic environment. This study contributes to the understanding of the role of religion in shaping tolerant attitudes among university students. The implications of these findings can help in designing more inclusive education programs that emphasize openness to differences and respect for diversity. In addition, this study underscores the importance of opening dialogue and facilitating faith in higher education settings. Although the findings provide valuable insights, this study has limitations in terms of sample coverage and geographical area. Further research involving larger and more diverse samples from different countries or regions is expected to corroborate and expand the generalizability of these findings. Future research could also explore other factors that may influence the relationship between religiosity and tolerance among university students.

PERANAN PESANTREN RAMADHAN DALAM MEMBANGUN KARAKTER KEISLAMAN BAGI PESERTA DIDIK TINGKAT SEKOLAH

This study discusses the importance of Ramadhan role-playing activities in shaping the Islamic character of elementary school (SD) students. The purpose of this research is to identify whether the Ramadhan role-playing activities can shape the Islamic character of elementary school students. The descriptive method was used in this study by using observation and interview techniques with elementary school students who took part in the Ramadhan boarding school activities. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that Ramadhan role-playing activities have an important role in shaping the Islamic character of elementary school students. This activity can increase understanding of Islamic religious teachings, form a sense of piety to Allah, and strengthen moral values such as patience, sincerity, and cooperation. Apart from that, Ramadhan training activities can also increase students' love for the mosque and their involvement in religious activities at the mosque. Therefore, it is suggested that Ramadhan training activities be carried out routinely in educational settings to help shape Islamic character in elementary school students.

Relationship between grave visitation and apathy among community-dwelling older adults.

It has been shown that involvement in religious activities has a positive impact on psychological aspects. In this study, the relationship between grave visitation, a standard religious activity in Japan, and depression and apathy symptoms was investigated among older adults in Japan. A total of 638 older adults who participated in a community-based health check survey (Tarumizu Study 2019) were interviewed regarding the presence or absence of grave visitation, frequency, travel time, means of transportation, and flower offerings. Apathy and depressive symptoms were measured using the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15). The participants were categorised into three grave visitation groups, namely, frequent (more than once per week), occasional (less than once per week), and non-visiting. Outcomes were compared between the frequency groups, and Poisson regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship between grave visitation frequency and apathy and depression. Of the participants, 91.8% reported regular grave visitation. The non-visiting group had a significantly higher prevalence of apathy symptoms (44.2%) than the visiting groups. Furthermore, using the frequent group as the reference, Poisson regression analysis adjusted for potential covariates demonstrated that no grave visitation was significantly related to apathy (prevalence ratio, 1.43; 95% confidence interval, 1.00-2.05, P=0.049). Not practising grave visitation was significantly related to apathy among older adults. Helping older adults to visit graves may prevent apathy by facilitating motivation and increasing activity.

Older adult life in COVID-19 pandemic: Focus on social isolation, loneliness, and minimization of risks

At the moment of worldwide lockdown with the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), older adult life bangs up with lots of changes such as stagnation in life, abuses, or violence (e.g., physical, emotional, sexual, and neglect). Older adults are feeling and experiencing more deprivation of social connectedness in a self-isolating environment. When there is a need for solidarity worldwide, COVID-19 is escalating stigmatization and discrimination against older adult populations. For this reason, we are particularly interested/accentuated more on the isolation life and loneliness lifestyles of older adults residing inside the four walls of their houses. In addition, emphasis is also given on different approaches of 4 R's such as reinoculate, remove, restore, and resilience for minimization of impact of COVID-19 among older adults. However, the cultural differences and societal values also played a major role in minimization of mental health challenges and illnesses during lockdown in Western and Eastern societies. The “We-ness” of collectivistic culture of Eastern societies brings more “Wellness” for older adult mental health. On the other hand, the “I-ness” of individualistic culture of Western societies brings only “Illness” for the older adult population. Still, many countries are facing a second or third wave of COVID-19, which are worsening the situation more for the older adult population. With aging and social isolation in pandemic, older adults’ well-being can be restored by developing healthy habits, involvement in religious activities, adopting natural healing techniques, and positive thinking toward the life.

Exploring Indirect Aspects in Motivation and Academic Achievement During The Pandemic

<p>Online learning methodologies are the most influential factor in educational success. However, it cannot be denied that there are non-technical aspects that indirectly affect students' motivation and academic achievement after the Covid-19 pandemic occurred. This study involves paired <em>t</em>-tests, regression tests, and partial <em>t</em>-tests to analyze the factors that can indirectly shape student motivation and academic achievement in Indonesia's higher schools. The factors studied were related to economic condition, health, habits, and social interaction. The result shows significant changes in learning motivation, economic and health conditions, student interactions with friends and lecturers, student involvement in student activity units and religious activities, use of social media, and time spent reading. The Grade Point Accumulative (GPA) before the pandemic was influenced by learning motivation. However, during the pandemic, the GPA was not significantly affected by learning motivation. Before the pandemic, family engagement and student involvement in religious activities significantly influence the GPA. Meanwhile, the factors that influence learning motivation during the pandemic are student involvement in social activities, interaction with lecturers, health conditions, and time spent reading.</p>

In the smoke of the people’s opium: The influence of religious beliefs and activities on protest participation

How does religion shape individual decisions to participate in protests? On the one hand, past literature from Tocqueville’s perspective has suggested that people’s involvement in religious activities leads to engagement in civic activities. On the other hand, the Marxist approach has pointed to the possibility that one’s religious belief may rather lead to decreasing participation in civil society. Combining these two conflicting perspectives, this study examines the influence of religious beliefs and activities on protest participation, an increasingly important form of civic participation in contemporary times. Using the World Values Survey across 48 countries, the author’s findings provide support for the Marxist approach by suggesting that people’s religious beliefs are significantly and negatively associated with one’s participation in protests especially in non-Western religions. Additionally, while the results fail to support the Tocquevillian perspective that one’s religious activities are directly related to protest participation, religious activities do have a countervailing effect by minimizing the negative influence of religious beliefs people hold on protest participation. This study provides important implications to further our understanding on the paradoxical relationship between religion and civic participation.

Belief Salience, Religious Activities, Frequency of Prayer Offering, Religious Offering Preference and Mental Health: A Study of Religiosity Among Muslim Students.

To investigate role of belief salience, participation in religious activities, religious offering preference and prayer offering positively predicts mental health among university students. It is a cross-sectional research design carried out in International Islamic University Islamabad, February 2018 to August 2018. Demographic variables were assessed by collecting information about age, education, marital status, family income and socioeconomic status. Mental Health Inventory-38 was used to measure mental health of the students, and in order to measure religiosity, Religiosity Measure Scale tapping belief salience, religious activities, frequency of prayer offering and religious offering preference was used. The results of the present study were analyzed through SPSS 21v. For computation of the findings, regression analysis and t test were applied. Study found that involvement in religious activities, prayer offering and belief salience positively predicts mental health among university students. Along with that, female students were also found to be highly involved in prayer offerings, religious offering preference and belief salience. However, there were no significant gender differences on participation in religious activities and mental health. It is recommended that development and enhancement of belief salience and religiosity in treatment of Muslim clients with psychological issues may boost their mental health. Therefore, these may be incorporated in treatment models.

Exploring perceptions and practices of cancer care among caregivers and care recipients of breast cancer in India.

Cancer care is physically and psychologically challenging for both care recipients and caregivers. Caregiving in cancer is an area that needs urgent attention in India. Much of caregiving literature in India is limited to mental illnesses. This study thus examines the perceptions and practices of psychological caregiving among caregivers and care recipients of breast cancer in India. Participants were interviewed with the aid of a semistructured qualitative interview guide. Participants included 39 caregivers and 35 care recipients in different breast cancer stages. Interviews were transcribed, translated to English, and coded, and themes were derived for further analysis. Informed consent from participants and ethical clearance and permission from a tertiary hospital were obtained prior to data collection. Psychological caregiving as perceived by the participants included actions such as encouraging, convincing care recipients, companionship, and maintaining a stress-free environment. Caregivers in particular felt that psychological caregiving meant reacting calmly to sensitive queries of nonfamily members, providing emotional support to other family members, and involvement in religious activities. Taking on such diverse responsibilities gave rise to several unmet psychological needs such as motivation and support in decision making from other family members. Irrespective of the status (caregiver or care recipient), participants in this study felt the need for structured counselling services to be incorporated into the standard care protocol. This is an area that needs to be further explored in the context of the breast cancer caregiver and care recipient dyad.

Association of Religious Activity with Male Suicide Deaths

To analyze the relationship between suicide in men and stratified measures of religiosity. We studied 192 suicides and 81 controls (nonsuicide, sudden, or accidental death). We employed the psychological autopsy method to compile diagnoses based on DSM-IV criteria. Overall, religiosity and participation in religious associations were determined using a Likert-type scale. Given the limited participation of women in the religious associations of southern Spain, only male subjects were included. Religious participants had decreased risk of suicide compared to nonparticipants (OR=0.148, 95% CI=0.049-0.447). This lower risk was further associated with the degree of involvement in religious activity. Suicides accounted for 73.47% of subjects with no religious participation, 61.17% of those with some participation, and 56.52% of frequent participants (linear trend test Z=-2.0329, p=.042). Membership in a religious association was also associated with a lower rate of suicide compared to nonmembers (OR=0.356, 95% CI=0.172-0.736). This effect was similarly associated with the degree of involvement in the association. Suicides accounted for 74.67% of subjects who never participated in the activities of a religious association, 69.23% of those who sometimes participated, and 42.86% of frequent participants (linear trend test Z=-3.4082, p<.001). Religiosity, either as general participation or through a religious association, was associated with protection against suicide proportional to the degree of involvement in religious activities.

End-Of-Life: Old age In Contemporary Society, Self-Perception Of Aging And ‘An’ Islamic Perspective

Population aging is a global phenomenon which has important and far-reaching implications for many facets of human life. Although it is an achievement of public health policies and socioeconomic development; it is generally greeted with alarm as it is assumed that elderly will be ill and dependant due to age-related chronic diseases which will require long term care. Despite the fact that many older adults continue to work and contribute to the society, they are seen as a burden and a drain on resources, rather than as a resource in themselves. Ageism and discrimination towards elderly is prevalent at individual and institutional levels that affect their physical and mental health, putting them at risk of depression and social isolation. According to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) combatting ageism has great potential for achieving healthy ageing for all people as they age. Individual health and longevity is influenced by biological, environmental, and psychosocial factors, however modifiable risk factors are especially relevant as they are amenable to intervention. There is enough evidence that religiosity and spirituality (R/S) are among such factors which allow older adults to age in a more positive way. Further R/S activities are prevalent globally and elderly tend to have high rates of involvement in religious activities. Health benefits that may stem from R/S involvement could be important for the future of global health which suggests that they could be incorporated into the idea of positive ageing. Islamic perspective on old age is deeply rooted in the very texts of revelation and as such is divinely based. This review article intends to create awareness of the elderly on the ageing process, their status in the contemporary society and how by adopting positive attitude toward ageing they can enjoy better functional health, self-esteem and satisfaction in life.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 03 No. 02 April’19.

Level of Sexual and Reproductive Health Knowledge and Attitude Among Early Adolescent

Introduction: Topic on sexuality has largely remained a taboo subject for discussion between parents and their children in Malaysia, which might contributed to increase sexual activity among adolescent age group. This study was undertaken to assess the level of knowledge, attitude and their associated factors among standard 4 and 5 students in a primary school in Kuantan, Pahang. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 281 students from standard 4 and 5 students using a self-administered validated Malay version KAPSRH questionnaire. Universal sampling was used for selection of students who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Descriptive statistics was used to explain respondents' background characteristics and multiple logistic regression was used to find the association. Results: Of the 252 students completed the surveys, 135 were males and 117 were females with the mean age of 10.47. It was found that more that half students reported to have good knowledge (56.3%) and attitude (59.4%) towards sexual and reproductive health. Year of study (p&lt;0.0001), involvement in religious activities (p&lt;0.0001) and household income were associated with both knowledge and attitude. While prayers (p=0.04), practice fasting (p=0.03), mothers' education (p&lt;0.0001), fathers' education (p&lt;0.0001) and fathers' working status (p=0.04) were associated with good attitude only. Conclusion: Although majority of the students have good level of sexual and reproductive health knowledge and attitude , there is still room for improvement. Parents, schools and health care providers are challenged with the task of providing adolescents with accessible sexual and reproductive health information to promote healthy sexual and reproductive lives.

Spiritual Formation of Believers among Latino Protestant Churches in the United States

Latinos have been in the United States for many centuries. Gradually they have made their presence more known, but it has been only in the last five decades that Latinos have experienced a conspicuous growth. As the Latino population grows in the country, the percentage of Latino Protestants grows, too. Latinos are very diverse as they represent a variety of ethnicities, cultural identities, religious identities, age dynamics, social classes, levels of acculturation citizenship or legal status. Latinos express their faith and religious commitment in different ways, including attending church, involvement in religious activities, reading the Bible, praying, evangelizing, and having a sense of mission, among others. Most Latino churches are giving attention to the spiritual formation of their churches’ members and are following strategies that work in their context. Some of them include Sunday worship service, Sunday school, Bible study, prayer, discipleship, cell groups, youth, women and men groups, evangelism and leadership training. Predominantly white American churches need to reevaluate what they have been doing with Latinos, keeping in mind that Latinos are very diverse, that they do not represent just recent immigrants to the US, as well as their religious commitment and sense of mission. The growth of Latino Protestants in the US conveys educational ministry implications for Anglo-American churches and other institutions of theological education.

Exploring the Post-Treatment Experiences of Childhood Cancer Survivors

Background: One of the great successes in medicine is the treatment of childhood cancer. Due to the overall increase in the survival rate of individuals with cancer, the disease is now considered a chronic condition (Meeske, Patel, Palmer, Nelson, &amp; Parow, 2007) rather than a terminal illness, drawing tremendous amount of attention toward examining the subjective well-being among cancer patients and survivors. In the Philippines, there is a growing number of childhood cancer survivors, however, they face posttreatment challenges that are given less attention in research in the country. Aim: The study sought to understand the experiences of Filipino childhood cancer survivors, focusing on the challenges, triumphs, and experiences related to postcancer treatment. An awareness and a better understanding of these will likely help psychosocial oncology professionals improve survivors´ level of functioning and quality of life in the posttreatment period. Methods: Using a qualitative design, six focus group discussions were conducted with 21 survivors of childhood cancer. Two of the FGDs were with survivors ages 13-18 years old and four FGDs were with 19-25 years old. The discussions were recorded and then transcribed for data storage, management, and analysis. Results: The results consisted of information grouped into two broad categories as positive and negative experiences. Survivors of childhood cancer reported positive experiences during the post-treatment period. They experienced improvement in their physical condition (healthy lifestyle, better health), in psychosocial wellness (gratefulness, determination), and in sustained religious engagement (prayerfulness, involvement in religious activities). On the other hand, the survivors also reported negative posttreatment experiences. Their negative experiences were thematically clustered according to the broad areas of cognitive (inefficient memory retrieval), physical (limitations on physical activities, pain, body issues), and socio-emotional (worry about cancer in the family, fear of relapse, fear of rejection, irritability) aspects. Conclusion: The experiences of the survivors in the posttreatment have both positive and negative dimensions. However, the reported negative experiences seem to weigh heavily on the survivors, with numerous cognitive, physical and socio-emotional concerns. There is an increasing urgency to understand the posttreatment psychological needs of the growing population of childhood cancer survivors, and develop follow-up psychosocial interventions for them. These psychosocial interventions can equip survivors with strategies to effectively manage and overcome their chronic worries, instill confidence and a sense of security and be able to plan for their future more positively.

Charitable giving and the future of NGOs in Russia: what can we learn from individual data?

ABSTRACTThis study seeks to discuss the survivability of charitable nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Russia without foreign funding. We use cross-sectional data from a quantitative household survey conducted in April 2016 to investigate common giving patterns of Russians. We find that Russians prefer to give directly to people in need rather than to NGOs; the donations are small, spontaneous, and irregular; they are mainly targeted to supporting the poor and the sick. Involvement in religious activities and higher self-assessed income are two factors that contribute most to the probability of donating. Educated and younger donors are more likely to donate to NGOs compared to donating to particular people/families. The study suggests that private donations to NGOs will decline if no changes in public policy are made. NGOs supporting education, environment, culture, or civil organizations seem to be worst hit.

Experiences and perspectives of stigmatization and discrimination against people with epilepsy in Accra, Ghana

A qualitative research approach was utilized to investigate experiences and perspectives of people with epilepsy (PWE) and key informants. Twenty participants (14 PWE and 6 key informants) were purposively selected as participants for the study and in-depth interviews were conducted. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed to identify emerging themes that addressed objectives of the study. The findings indicated that PWE and key informants included in this study perceived epilepsy as a spiritual, curable, and medical condition. Besides, it was found that for fear of being infected by epilepsy, some people stigmatized and discriminated against PWE. Additionally, the study provided evidence that PWE were stigmatized and discriminated against in employment and intimate relationships with the incidence of seizures being the major reason. Furthermore, the study revealed that PWE adopted various strategies (concealment, not responding to demeaning comments made by people, involvement in religious activities, and joining support groups) to manage stigma and discrimination. The findings suggest the need for public education about epilepsy in order to modify people's beliefs and views about the disease. Moreover, the provision of counseling services would help enhance the psychosocial wellbeing of PWE.

Rehabilitative Beit Midrash as a means for advancing the community integration of Ultra Orthodox Jewish persons with severe mental illness

ABSTRACTReligious Jews with severe mental illness often encounter barriers to involvement in religious activities in their community affecting their ability to become integrated into their community. Therefore, a study was conducted in Israel examining the contribution to community integration through a programme providing religious persons with mental illness an opportunity to participate in religious studies. An A-B research design was implemented among 42 Ultra-Orthodox Jewish persons with severe mental illness utilising a culturally-oriented structured instrument. The study showed that the opportunity for involvement in religious studies could advance the participants’ sense of social interaction in their community as well as their sense of psychological integration with other religious people. It also strengthened their confidence in their ability to further get involved in religious studies in the community. Rehabilitation services providing persons with severe mental illness an opportunity for involvement in religious studies can act as a springboard for advancing their community integration.

A STUDY ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RELIGIOUS CONSUMERIST LANDSCAPE RESOURCES AND RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE

Faith in a Gods or divinities has always been the focus and sustenance of the development of civilizations, and is closely related to people’s lives. Coupled with the arts and humanities, astronomy, geography and customs, and living customs has played a part in shaping unique landscape resources and the possession of rich and deep cultural assets. With their involvement in religious activities, people have acquired sustenance and a sense of belonging from their religious beliefs and this has subsequently brought pleasure from tourism. There are over 12,000 registered temples in Taiwan, forming a special phenomenon in Taiwanese folk religion. Therefore, an important topic for discussion regarding to the development of religious tourism will be: how to shape landscape resources for religious consumerists in order to offer the consumerists profound experience, as well as creating an in-depth understanding of Taiwanese religious cultures and generating a reliance on recognition and emotions of consumerists. Themed on researches which were previously undertaken on the relationship between religious consumerist landscape resources and religious experience, this study adopts the Nankunshen Temple as the research object for empirical study. The research results of this study consist of: (1) through factor analysis, this study extracted the factor dimensions of religious consumerist landscape resources. In order, these dimensions are “the holiness and solemnity of the religion”,“the beauty of the magnificent art”, “atmosphere of the religious culture”, “the center of spiritual sustenance”” and “the reliance of living philosophy”. The factor dimensions of experience are “sensory experience”, “thought experience”, “emotional experience”, “action experience”, and “relational experience”. (2) In terms of the dimensions of the landscape resources of religious tourism, “the holiness and solemnity of the religion” was placed first, followed by “the beauty of magnificent art”; (3) In terms of the experience dimensions, the first place went to “sensory experience”, followed by “thought experience”. (4) After regression analysis, it is found that religious consumerist landscape resources were the most important factor for experience. In terms of sensory experience, the beauty of magnificent buildings occupied first place, followed by spiritual sustenance. In terms of emotional experience, the first place went to the center of spiritual sustenance, followed by the reliance of life philosophy. Regarding thought experiences, religious cultural atmosphere was in first place, followed by the center of spiritual sustenance. For the action experience, the first place was given to the center of spiritual sustenance, followed by religious cultural atmosphere. For relational experience, the reliance of life philosophy was in first place, followed by religious cultural atmosphere. The research results of this study can offer a reference for relevant organizations involved in the development of religious tourism.

Religious variations in fundamentalism in Malaysia and the United States: Possible relevance to religiously motivated violence

Passages can be found in nearly all religious scriptures sanctioning violence against members of other religions, but they seem to be especially prominent in the Koran. Assuming that fundamentalists are most likely obey what they read in sacred scriptures, this study sought to estimate the degree of fundamentalists among college students from Malaysia and the United States using a scale from 1 to 10. Roughly 40% of Malaysian students and 14% of U.S. students used 10 to rate their degree of fundamentalism. Malaysian Muslims were the most fundamentalist, followed closely by Malaysian Hindus, with Malaysian Christians being a distant third. In the U.S. sample, far fewer Muslims, Hindus, and Christians used 10 to represent their degree of religious fundamentalism. Virtually no correlation was found between religious fundamentalist and parental education and family income in either country. Instead, high involvement in religious activities and closely following religious codes of conduct plus having parents who strictly enforced religious teachings were much stronger predictors of religious fundamentalism than parental social status. Overall, the Koran's authorizing religiously motivated violence against non-believers along with high degrees of religious fundamentalism among Muslims and their growing interaction with non-believers may best explain the rash of terrorist violence in recent decades.

THE MODERATING ROLE OF RELIGIOSITY ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SATISFACTION WITH WORK-LIFE BALANCE AND JOB SATISFACTION

Purpose: - The impact of work-life balance on work-related outcomes has been the focus of much attention by researchers in organizational behavior and psychology. The aim of this study was to extend this literature by examining the potential moderating effect of religiosity on the relationship between satisfaction with work-life balance and job satisfaction. Methodology/Sample: - Data from The European Social Survey (ESS Round 6 Edition 1.2) provided the basis for this study (N= 21621). Findings: - Results suggested that satisfaction with work-life balance was positively related to job satisfaction and religiosity fostered the effect of satisfaction with work-life balance on job satisfaction. Practical Implications:- The findings of this study suggest that religiosity holds relevance to a variety of work outcomes. Faith and involvement in religious activities act as a personal resource, making individuals more resilient to cope with the challenges arising from work-life imbalance.
